I am originally from South Carolina, but I have lived in Georgia for 25 years, which I consider my home state.  I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Science with my major in Early Childhood Education from Augusta State University in 2006,  and received my gifted endorsement in education in 2018.  

I live in Grovetown.  I am married to the sweetest man ever, Mr. Tommy.  I have 5 children and 4 grandchildren!  I love spending time with my family, planting flowers, bird watching, fishing, hunting, vacationing at the beach, and of course, TEACHING! 

I feel so excited to be your child's teacher!   I have been teaching for 17 years, and teaching has always been a passion of mine.  Nothing feels more satisfying as a teacher than to see a child enjoy learning, and to desire to become a life-long learner.  My goal is to develop relationships with my students that encourages and inspires them to learn.  My team and I enjoy creating fun and exciting lessons to keep our students engaged in learning to prepare them for second grade.  I have been part of the Brookwood family for eleven years, and this  is my seventeenth year teaching.   Brookwood is my second home. Second grade is AWESOME and we are going to have an amazing year!
